Similar situation happened to me. Worked for a company for a couple months and then hurt myself in a non-job related accident and was unable to work. No WCB as it was non-job related and because I had not worked 600 hours in the past year (first job out of university) I was unable to qualify for EI.
If your friend has amassed 600 hours of work (in the last 52 weeks) in his previous job he should be able to qualify for EI, regardless if he only worked one shift at his new job.
